我非常同意他们的做法。我认为面包🍞是对 an Average Person 来说很普通，不太好吃。但如果你给了一个贫穷的孩子一片面包，一片而已，他肯定会开心极，非常感激他手里拿着的一片面包。我们没有想过：如果我是一个贫穷的孩子........我们不感激我们所拥有的。我们有个温暖的家庭、有食物吃、有水喝。那些贫穷的家庭连个面包屑都没有。他们需要从垃圾桶找出食物。最难以置信的是：垃圾桶的食物是我们丢掉的！我们要感激所拥有的，充分利用你拥有的东西。We must play our part to prevent food from being wasted and help the needy around you by buying them a gardenia loaf or giving them some money . They will be very happy..........You WILL MAKE THEIR DAY.

我完全同意Gardenia 说的话。虽然大部分新加坡人都有的吃，有的住，可是还有一些人却没那么幸福。我们应该尽可能去帮助他们。

记的有一次，当我回家时发现了一个衣服破烂的老人
他正在演奏长笛,虽然人们很多但是他们不给拿老人。我从书包那出钱包，我打开看但发现只有四毛钱虽然
我只给一点钱但是那老人却给我一个诚恳的微笑。我心里露出一朵花使得。
最近发生了一个president star challeng.他们是鼓励公众来给钱。这些钱是为了帮助体障人士，给他们快乐。我希望大家能给一些钱！！！！！！！！

我同意Gardenia 说的话。我觉得我们算是很幸福了。因为我们已经能吃饱肚子。全世界有许多家境贫寒的人。他们连吃的都没有，他们甚至要到处要饭。虽然我们每天都能吃面包，但对他们来说，面包就像金银珠宝一样。因此我们不应改浪费食物。

我同意他们这样做。因为面包是对穷人来说是很好的食物。世界上有很多没跟我们一样那么幸运的人。有些从来都没吃过面包，而要找来找去人后吃什么找到食物。我们却看不起这些多么简单的食物。gardenia这样做一定会令这些人感到多么开心。有一次，我和家人去马来西啊是，看见路边有许多人在讨钱。而又这男士，没有一个脚，衣服也破破烂烂的。😟我和爸爸觉得他很辛苦，所以捐给他2块😃。虽然不多，但看他脸上有个笑容，我们的心也感到甜蜜蜜的。我从那件事知道我们多么幸运。有个家和双脚双手。我们要珍惜所用有的东西，而别看不起坐上哪那么简单的一片面包，吃面包时，要感激和珍惜每一口😄。

我同意Gardenia说的话。每当我去香港时，我都会看到很多人在一些店旁睡觉或者讨钱。当时，我发现了自己非常幸福。我的父母亲也会鼓励我捐他们给我的钱给他们。还记得有一次，在街上有一位老人，他整身都被衣服遮，他从自己的背包拿出了很大张的纸。有一些他已经写了，他在那里也继续写着。他写的是中文可是他写的是繁体字所以我只读懂一些字。他在纸上写了他自己的经历，我读了后很难过，差点哭了起来，我读完才知道为什么他整身都是衣服。很多经过的人都立刻捐钱给他，我也不例外。那次的经历令我刻苦铭心。有些很善良的人例如在麦当劳的人不但没赶他们走，还让他们睡觉。一些人则看不起他们，对他们大喊大叫。

我认为我们很幸福。  虽然面包对我们很普通但对家境贫穷的人很有意义。有一次，我在马来西亚看到了一个乞丐在路旁要饭。我看到了感到很心疼，所以给他了一些钱

我觉得我们已经很幸福了。虽然面包对我们来说很普通但对那些家境贫穷的人很重要。它不但能填饱他们的肚子也是个很容易寻找的食物。有一次，我在回家的路上看到了老伯伯坐在路旁讨钱. 真可怜啊。他应该享受生活而不是一天一天的过着幸苦的日子。我认为他的儿子不孝，应该帮助他想办法而不是丢他不管。

其实这只是我的猜测。我们不懂得欣赏面包是正常的。因为我们有地方住和有的东西吃。但不是每个人都这样好命。要懂得珍惜自己的生活和环境。。。

虽然大家制作Gardenia 板子时，我生病而不能来，但是我还是同意Gardenia的说法。记得我出国时，在一些街上会见到乞丐吃面包，也在电影里看到他们(演乞丐的演员）这么做。我那是真想把一些食物送给他们，身上却没有什么食物。因此我决定明年若有机会，我会利用时间做善事，帮助社会里有需要的人

我记得有一次我的朋友遇到困难时，当我看到没有人帮他，我和我的朋友一起向前帮他。

我记得在2014年我去了巴黎，虽然非常漂亮也有很多好吃的东西，那里有很多无家可归乞丐。我去哪里都有几个，让我感到非常伤心。我的爸爸给了我一些钱来买东西，我就给了他们一些。我去了那里学到我们一定要珍惜我们的钱和我们所拥有的，不要乱花钱，可以用来帮比较需要的人。

我记得在后个星期五,我走路回家时,看到了一个白发苍苍的老婆婆正在很吃力地把手推车推上楼梯。很多年轻人看了后,有的假装没看到她,有的还抱怨她为什么走那么慢。那位婆婆只是低下头,还是很吃力地想要推。我看了,心里有种不能说出来的感觉,好像感到即生气又可怜那位老婆婆。在那时,我也想到当我长大后,变老了,我一定也会遇到这些困难,因此感受到老婆婆的心情。于是,我问了那位老婆婆他需不需要帮忙。他看了,向我微笑,还答应了。帮忙后,是老婆婆的微笑和"谢谢"两个字让我感到非常非常的开心;有种满足感也好像有了推动力,想要帮助更多人因为心里会有种很温暖的感觉。

前天老师和家人聚餐。我选择了一家素食馆，第一次和家人聚餐时吃素。
其实吃素食有很多好处，你们知道吗？
除了没有对生物造成伤害，吃素其实对地球有很大的好处。（见附录）
你们有吃过素食吗？有没有家人朋友是素食者？为了地球还有生物，如果让你吃素一天，每个星期一次，你愿意吗？

f we really want to reduce the human impact on the environment, the simplest and cheapest thing anyone can do is to eat less meat. Behind most of the joints of beef or chicken on our plates is a phenomenally wasteful, land- and energy-hungry system of farming that devastates forests, pollutes oceans, rivers, seas and air, depends on oil and coal, and is significantly responsible for climate change. The way we breed animals is now recognised by the UN, scientists, economists and politicians as giving rise to many interlinked human and ecological problems, but with 1 billion people already not having enough to eat and 3 billion more mouths to feed within 50 years, the urgency to rethink our relationship with animals is extreme.

1 Overheating the planet

We humans eat about 230m tonnes of animals a year, twice as much as we did 30 years ago. We mostly breed four species - chickens, cows, sheep and pigs - all of which need vast amounts of food and water, emit methane and other greenhouse gases and produce mountains of physical waste.

But how much stress does our meat-eating put on ecological systems? The answer is a lot but the figures are imprecise and disputed. In 2006, the UN calculated that the combined climate change emissions of animals bred for their meat were about 18% of the global total - more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.

The authors of the report, called Livestock's Long Shadow, did not just count the methane from the belching, farting cattle, but the gases released from the manures that they produce, the oil burned taking their carcasses to markets often thousands of miles away, the electricity needed to keep the meat cool, the gas used to cook it, the energy needed to plough and harvest the fields that grow the crops that the animals eat, even pumping the water that the cattle need.

The figure was revised upward in 2009 by two World Bank scientists to more than 51%, but attempts to fully account for meat-eating are condemned as simplistic. Should the studies have been based on giant US factory farms, or on more sustainable breeding in Europe? Should you include all the knock-on emissions from clearing forests? What about the fertiliser used to grow the crops to feed to the animals, or the emissions from the steel needed to build the boats that transport the cattle; or the "default" emissions - the greenhouse gases that would be released by substitute activities to grow food if we were to give up meat? And is it fair to count animals used for multiple purposes, as they mostly are in developing countries, from providing draught power to shoe leather or transport, and which only become meat once they reach the end of their economic lives?

It's an accounting nightmare but depending on how it's done, livestock's contribution to climate change can be calculated as low as 5-10% of global emissions or as high as 50%. Last year, a Food Climate Research Network report concluded that UK meat and dairy consumption was responsible for 8% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. But however it's counted, livestock farming ranks as one of the three greatest sources of climate changing emissions and one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation.

2 Eating up land

A human population expected to grow by 3 billion, a shift in developing countries to eating more meat, and global consumption on track to double in 40 years point to the mother of all food crises down the road. How much food we grow is not just limited by the amount of available land but meat-eaters need far more space than vegetarians. A Bangladeshi family living off rice, beans, vegetables and fruit may live on an acre of land or less, while the average American, who consumes around 270 pounds of meat a year, needs 20 times that.

Nearly 30% of the available ice-free surface area of the planet is now used by livestock, or for growing food for those animals. One billion people go hungry every day, but livestock now consumes the majority of the world's crops. A Cornell University study in 1997 found that around 13m hectares of land in the US were used to grow vegetables, rice, fruit, potatoes and beans, but 302m were used for livestock. The problem is that farm animals are inefficient converters of food to flesh. Broiler chickens are the best, needing around 3.4kg to produce 1kg of flesh, but pigs need 8.4kg for that kilo.

Other academics have calculated that if the grain fed to animals in western countries were consumed directly by people instead of animals, we could feed at least twice as many people - and possibly far more - as we do now.

To make matters worse, our hunger to eat animals has led to overstocking of fragile lands and massive soil erosion and desertification. Overgrazing, from the downlands of southern England to the uplands of Ethiopia and mountains of Nepal, causes great loss of fertility, as well as flooding.

But the figures must be treated with caution. Animal manures can revitalise the soil and millions of animals live on marginal land that is quite unsuitable for crops.

But before we leap to conclusions and lump all livestock rearing together, consider this: in western countries animals are bred and reared to put on as much meat as possible in the shortest time after which they are slaughtered. But in poorer regions, cattle - especially in dry areas - are central to human life and culture and often the only source of food and income for many millions of pastoralists. The ceaseless movement of these nomadic herders over vast areas is the backbone of many African economies and, a major new study from the International Institute for Environment and Development suggests, a far more ecologically efficient method of farming than the way cattle are reared in Australia or the US.

3 Drinking too much water

Eat a steak or a chicken and you are effectively consuming the water that the animal has needed to live and grow. Vegetarian author John Robbins calculates it takes 60, 108, 168, and 229 pounds of water to produce one pound of potatoes, wheat, maize and rice respectively. But a pound of beef needs around 9,000 litres - or more than 20,000lbs of water. Equally, it takes nearly 1,000 litres of water to produce one litre of milk. A broiler chicken, by contrast, is far more efficient, producing the same amount of meat as a cow on just 1,500 litres.

Pigs are some of the thirstiest animals. An average-sized north American pig farm with 80,000 pigs needs nearly 75m gallons of fresh water a year. A large one, which might have one million or more pigs, may need as much as a city.

Farming, which uses 70% of water available to humans, is already in direct competition for water with cities. But as demand for meat increases, so there will be less available for both crops and drinking. Rich but water-stressed countries such as Saudi Arabia, Libya, the Gulf states and South Africa say it makes sense to grow food in poorer countries to conserve their water resources, and are now buying or leasing millions of hectares of Ethiopia and elsewhere to provide their food. Every cow fattened in Gambella state in southern Ethiopia and exported to Abu Dhabi or Britain is taking the pressure off water supplies back home but increasing it elsewhere.

4 Causing deforestation

Global agribusiness has for 30 years turned to tropical rainforests - not for their timber but for the land that can be used to graze cattle or grow palm oil and soya. Millions of hectares of trees have been felled to provide burgers for the US and more recently animal feed for farms for Europe, China and Japan.

In its latest food report What's Feeding Our Food? Friends of the Earth estimates that around 6m hectares of forest land a year - an area equivalent to Latvia or twice the size of Belgium - and a similar acreage of peat and wetlands elsewhere, is converted to farmland a year. Of that, it says, most goes to livestock or to grow the crops to feed the cattle.

As soya becomes the world's major crop for chicken feed, so the industry is driving cattle ranching deeper into the forests.

5 Poisoning the earth

Industrial-scale agriculture now dominates the western livestock and poultry industries, and a single farm can now generate as much waste as a city. A cow excretes around 40kg of manure for every kilogram of edible beef it puts on and when you have many thousands crowded into a small area the effect can be dramatic. Their manure and urine is funnelled into massive waste lagoons sometimes holding as many as 40m gallons. These cesspools often break, leak or overflow, polluting underground water supplies and rivers with nitrogen, phosphorus and nitrates.

Tens of thousands of miles of rivers in the US, Europe and Asia are polluted each year. A single spill of millions of gallons of waste from a North Carolina pig factory lagoon in 1995 killed about 10 million fish and forced the closure of 364,000 acres of coastal wetlands to shellfishing.

The sheer quantity of animals now being raised for humans to eat now threatens the earth's biodiversity. More than one third of the world's 825 "ecoregions" identified by conservation group WWF are said to be threatened by livestock and giant US group Conservation International reckons that 23 out of 40-odd global "biodiversity hotspots" - the places considered most valuable for life - are now seriously affected by livestock production.

6 Spoiling the oceans

The present oil pollution disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is not the only problem that the region faces. Most summers between 13,000-20,000 sq km of sea at the mouth of the Mississippi become a "dead zone", caused when vast quantities of excess nutrients from animal waste, factory farms, sewage, nitrogen compounds and fertiliser are swept down the mighty river. This causes algal blooms which take up all the oxygen in the water to the point where little can live.

Nearly 400 dead zones ranging in size from one to over 70,000sq km have now been identified, from the Scandinavian fjords to the South China Sea. Animal farming is not the only culprit, but it is one of the worst.

7 Ruining the air

Anyone who has lived close to a large factory farm knows the smells can be extreme. Aside from greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide, cows and pigs produce many other polluting gases. Global figures are unavailable but in the US, livestock and animal feed crops are responsible for 37% of pesticide use, more than half of all the antibiotics manufactured and a third of the nitrogen and phosphorous in fresh water. Nearly two thirds of the manmade ammonia - a major contributor to acid rain - is also generated by livestock. In addition, concentrated factory farming of animals contributes to ozone pollution.

8 Making us prone to disease

Animal waste contains many pathogens including salmonella, E coli, cryptosporidium, and fecal coliform, which can transfer to humans through water run-off or manure or touch. In addition, millions of pounds of antibiotics is added to animal feed a year to speed the growth of cattle. But this contributes to the rise of resistant bacteria, and so makes it harder to treat human illnesses.

9 Draining the world's oil

The western animal farming economy is based on oil, which is why there were food riots in 23 countries when the oil price peaked in 2008. Every link in the chain of events that brings meat to the table demands electricity, from the production of the fertiliser put on the land to grow the animal feed, to pumping the water they need from the rivers or deep underground, to the fuel needed to transport the meat in giant refrigerated ships and the supermarket shelves. According to some studies, as much as one-third of all fossil fuels produced in the United States now go towards animal agriculture.

10 Meat's costly, in many ways

Polls suggest that 5-6% of the population eats no meat at all, with many millions of others consciously reducing the amount of meat they eat or only eating it occasionally. This is backed by new government figures which show that last year we ate 5% less meat by weight than in 2005.

But the quantities are still staggering: according to the Vegetarian Society, the average British carnivore eats over 11,000 animals in a lifetime: 1 goose, 1 rabbit, 4 cattle, 18 pigs, 23 sheep and lambs, 28 ducks, 39 turkeys, 1,158 chickens, 3,593 shellfish and 6,182 fish.

For this, say the vegetarians, the meat eaters get increased chances of obesity, cancers, heart diseases and other illnesses as well as a hole in the pocket. A meat diet is generally considered twice as expensive as a vegetarian one.

我记得有一次我在瑞士旅游时，在一个小镇的街上看到很多无家可归的乞丐在商店旁睡觉。我那时有点惊讶因为我在新加坡从来没有见过这样的人。我离开前给我剩下的几毛钱放进机场的捐款箱，反正我在新加坡不能用它赔钱。所以我们应该珍惜我们所拥有的，不要乱花钱。

Gardenia 说的“Bread may be a staple food for you ,but it is a luxury for the needy.",我很同意。我记得有一次我去印度尼西亚，那里很肮脏也有很多乞丐。有些乞丐是小孩子！那里的人有的看起来营养不良，有的看起来贫穷，我看了很心痛！在那个印度尼西亚旅行中，有几个小孩子在山马路上收取通行费。这是很可怜，看孩子做工，而没有有一个快乐的童年。

赖老师：对啊...有许多我们理所当然拥有的事物其实对一些人来说根本是奢侈品。就像水龙头的水，我们一开就有了。可是，有些人根本不会知道什么是水龙头，喝的只有河里或地面上的水。因此，生长在新加坡的我们真的要惜福，要懂得感恩。长大了，有更大的能力要回馈社会，帮助周遭的人。“人间最美是温情” ，你我都能把这份温情带给众人。

我记得有一次, 几年前,我在马来西亚去夜市时, 看到一个乞丐在路上爬行. 他/她有长发盖着脸,衣服破破烂烂的,脏得非笔墨所能形容.
那是我呆了.
然后才从口袋里拿出一些钱给他.

10月15日 - 授旗日
你们全力以赴积极筹款，老师看在眼里，为你们感到骄傲！
有一件事让我对你们留下深刻的印象，当一天的活动结束后，老师原本想请你们吃甜点慰劳你们。但是，你们却提议说只想喝一杯水就满足了。于是，我们到食阁去。
我记得安哲说，那个我要请你们吃的甜点很贵。我其实知道，但看到你们一天下来卖力地筹款，我觉得花一点小钱慰劳你们一点也不算什么。
所以从这件事中，我觉得你们都能从简单的东西得到大大的满足与快乐，并没有追求过于奢华的事物，是非常可贵，令我激赏的生活态度。
我很欣慰和你们参与这个有意义的活动，让我看到课室以外你们每一个人的特点，都是在课室里我不会发现的优点。 :)

这一天的欢笑与汗水给我留下美好的回忆。
谢谢你们，10个善良的小瓜！:D
